Good morning from Wisconsin

New member here from southern Wisconsin. Recently purchased a Lifan xpect after doing a bunch of research and a lot of that came from the threads of this forum. A bit about myself, I am a Lake Weed Harvester operator, The safety officer for our local fire department, a farm hand, a business owner operating a home repair/garage door service and the Tram Mechanic for EAA's Airventure in Oshkosh Wi. I wear a lot of hats and can fix most anything over the years I've been a certified welder a small engine tech with Stihl gold cert level, I've been a hvac guy, a carpenter, a cranberry harvester among various other things when I was younger I used to flip metric bikes at one time I had 9 of them licenced and plated in the garage from my little xs400 cafe racer and a pair of Kdx 200s to my 78 goldwing with sidecar. Then I had my son and a bit of a wreck and sold off the bikes. Well my oldest has moved out and it was time to get back to riding. Now I have a 74 cb360t cafe racer in p-40 style warbird paint and as of 3 weeks ago a Lifan Xpect and possibly a KPM coming in the future. I'm looking forward to learning from the vast knowledge base here and can't wait to see the projects coming from all of you in the future.

Dang, I thought I’ve done a few things in life but nothing compared to you! You’ve been a busy fellow. I’ve always liked the old CB-CL-SL 350’s and 360’s, never been into the cafe racer thing myself. Good luck with your new bikes. Welcome
